I want white eggs!

[denco5]

What type/breed of pullet do I need to get to have white eggs? I have four RIR, one EE(green egg) and one Buff and they all lay brown eggs. I have a barred rock that has not started yet but I am guessing she will lay brown eggs as well.

Yep, she will also lay brown eggs. Go for the White Leghorns. They lay an extral large white egg and are a smaller breed so they eat less!!

There are several white laying breeds. We have Pearl White Leghorns and sell their hatching eggs. They are wonderful and beautiful and the eggs are a great large size. Let me search and see if I have a photo of them!!!

Here's one of the main rooster!!! He likes to walk the perch to protect the ladies!!!!

Let me know if you need some eggs to hatch!

Blue Andalusians lay a very white egg too. I only specify Blue because thats what I have, but I'm pretty sure thats true for the breed.

OK thanks, I will look for some of those breeds here locally. I would love to hatch a few of the leghorns you have but my luck I would end up with all roosters. I have too many of those the way it is!

I am getting some silver spangled hamburgs, they lay white also!

Henderson's chart lists egg color, along with a lot of other information on breeds.

I have the white leghorns and they lay a large white egg. They are a bit smaller than my other girls, and a little skittish too. I can't hold them or pet them like the others. But they do lay a pretty large white egg.

ETA: Check out TSC at the first of the month for their chick days. They may have them.

My lightbrown Leghorn lays a medium to large white egg with incredible yolks. Best yolks of all my girls.
